A cross-disciplinary panel discussion on authorship in the digital age, with a focus on the specific goals and needs of academic authors. Authors who write to be read care about how their works are published and what that means for reader access. While traditional options and copyright arrangements still predominate in many fields, there are ever-increasing ways to share works of authorship. What works best to get textual and visual works out there and under what circumstances? Join us for this panel discussion with AuthorsAlliance, where we will explore the opportunities and challenges authors face in maximizing the reach of their work, both in and outside of academia.

Although note the Copyright 2010 little bit. Which is interesting since this paper was in fact published in 2010. And you can find it on the other site http://standardsingenomics.org with a 2010 publication data here.

And also in Pubmed and Pubmed Central.

So - even though Biomed Central says the new papers will be in the new site and the old papers will be ket in a separate site that is not what is happening.

For some reasons some of the older papers are now being listed in the new site with a new publication date. And I assume because Google Scholar scrapes from the journal sites, it found the "new" papers and has now added them to it's clustering collection and has fed them into my publication list. And despite trying I am not sure how to fix this.

I tried to "unmerge" the new publications to see if somehow the old publications showed up. But they did not. So .. am not sure what to do here other than to send this to BMC and Google Scholar, which I will do. Ahh - the perils of automated systems ...

I note - this does seem to have possibly temporarily increased my total number of citations since it seems like some of these papers are now being considered twice by Google Scholar but not sure about that. More digging.
